There are so many interesting sites to see! The temples of Zeus and Apollo, ancient Corinth, the Corinth Canal built in the 1800s. It is so cool to read the letters of Paul in the actual locations he was writing to. I am loving this experience!
Today we went to the Acropolis museum and saw the Parthenon in person. If I didn't
have a picture, I wouldn't believe it myself. What an amazing, once in a lifetime experience. The artwork and architecture are astounding in size and beauty.
Yesterday We arrived for a later dinner and to check into our hotel in Delphi. The next morning we visited the museum and archaeological site. The museum showcased the evolution of ancient art from simplistic forms to perfection as defined by humanism. I was amazed at the precision, especially in the latter works, which include fine details such as eyelashes and tendons.
Like all the other locations we have visited, the views are breathtaking. I could never get tired of looking out the window if I lived here. On top of that, the food is delicious and the people are extremely warm and hospitable.
What an exciting day it has been! We went to the river where Lydia was baptized and then ate at "her house". Geeks do a great version of the hamburger, by the way.
After lunch we saw ruins where Paul would have preached the good news and walked on a road he would have taken. The sights were breathtaking and beautiful.
We also visited the port city Kavala and talked about the visions of Paul.
Today was filled with many beautiful and interesting things, so be sure to catch me in person see all the neat photos! Below are a couple photo highlights.
